Reform Ballpoint And Rollerball Refills

[CaptainDan]

Everyone knows the "Reform Original 1745" pen - it is the Pelikan-esque black and green piston-filling workhorse that graced the desks of many a German youth back in the day, and even now is sought by collectors for its reliability, simplicity, and elegance. I would venture to say that it was the most famous pen ever produced by the Reform company.

 

However, they also produced ballpoints and rollerballs that evoked the practical aesthetic of the 1745. My question is what refills, if any, would these pens take? Would a standard Parker, Sheaffer, or Cross refill suffice, or are they only capable of taking an exclusive, Reform-manufactured refill?

 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter!

The ball points take the Schneider/Schmidt refills - Schneider Express 75 or equivalent. The other ones don't fit.

Will find the Roller ball number for you.

Some of the vintage Reform BP use refills like Schneider Express 75, the newer models use G2 standard refills (Parker type). As per rollerball they should use standard ones, among this ones Pilot G2 gel refills or Pentel Energel refills should work as well.

Thank you for your assistance! Would the G2 rollerball refills be the ones most readily available in most office supply stores?
